Chapter 873: Territorial System
Chapter 873: Territorial System
Dudian flew down and landed on the giant wall. The radiation level here was much lower than outside. The air he smelled was very fresh and natural. There was no strange smell, he was going to find a place in the vicinity to solve the problem of his right arm. However, it was not easy for him to meet a new giant wall. He was very curious about the environment inside. Was it the same as Sylvia?
Most importantly, what was the standard of the experts here?
He restrained his aura and went more than 200 miles. He saw the beast pen and the shadow of the human village. Although it was a long distance but the land inside the wall was very vast, it was easy to accommodate tens of millions of people. Two hundred miles of wasteland was nothing.
“No Wall?”Dudian was surprised. He had met many mutated beasts and low-level monsters along the way. They were comparable to hunters. The thick wooden beast pen seemed to be strong, however, there was no protection in front of such mutated beasts. Sylvia at least had the golden wall to protect her. The main purpose of the sturdy stone wall was to isolate the Barbarians.
Dudian looked at the population and strength of the town behind the Beast Pen. All of them were ordinary people. There were only six of them with high heat. Two of them were guarding the other side of the beast pen, their combat strength should be slightly higher than ordinary scavengers. It should be three to five times that of ordinary people.
Dudian let Aisha stop in the forest in the distance. He quietly touched the village and found a high heat source. He grabbed it and took it to the forest in the distance.
The person who was caught by Dudian looked to be in his thirties. He was thrown to the ground by Dudian. He saw Dudian’s appearance. Dudian’s face turned pale as he was frightened by the ferocious splitter armor, his voice trembled: “Who… Who Are You?”
He was speaking the common language of the giant wall. Dudian knew that there would be no language barrier after the capture. From this point of view, it reflected the difference between this place and Sylvia.
“Answer my question honestly and you will be able to go back alive. You Don’t need to talk nonsense. Do you understand?”Dudian’s eyes were cold and there was a murderous aura in them. The middle-aged man quickly nodded.
Ten minutes later, Dudian finished asking what he wanted to know. He knocked the middle-aged man out and left the place with Aisha.
“I didn’t expect that this place is more real than Sylvia. It’s a blatant system of privileges.”Dudian went around the village and continued to move forward. He knew that the village was here because of the middle-aged man’s words, because of the lack of tributes they were assigned to this place. All the residents here needed to pay tribute to the Lord in order to exchange for protection.
The lords here were similar to the noble lords of Sylvia. They controlled the life and death power of the territory. However there was no commercial district here. There were only many territories and a large number of servants and residents, there were also serfs.
Every suzerain had a large number of warriors under their command. The suzerains would fight each other for land resources and engage in continuous battles. Every time a war broke out, the first to be affected would be the residents at the edge of the territory.
It could be said that the people here had been ravaged by the flames of war all year round.
Although the noble suzerains of Sylvia would also fight each other for territory and wealth, it was rare for war to break out directly. It was all open and hidden battles in the business world. Moreover, they would care about their reputation. When the situation became tense.., there would be Knight’s Hall and military to mediate. However, there was only one king’s city. From the middle-aged man’s words, unless the lord was too extreme and massacred the residents of other territories, the king’s city would not intervene, otherwise, they would basically not come out.
“It seems that this place is much simpler and more brutal than Sylvia. Strength is king. Poor civilians can only live in fear and trepidation. Every time there is a war, they will have to migrate. If their lord wins, it will be fine. But if he is defeated, it is very likely that he will be implicated in the massacre or become the lowest level servant of the new Lord.”Dudian’s eyes flashed, the capital city was the center of power. It was also the place where the big figures lived. It was a hell for the poor and a paradise for the rich.
He wanted to go to the capital city to take a look. It would be best if he could find a legendary parasitic soul worm before he replaced his right arm.
Moreover, he wanted to use the magic atlas of the wall to identify the parasitic soul worms. After all, the owners of these parasitic soul worms were killed on the way here. The Kingdom of God had given the magic atlas to this place, it should be different from Sylvia’s.
After passing through many villages and towns, some were prosperous and some were down and out. It wasn’t long before Dudian came to the most prosperous town he had seen so far. At a glance, the roads of the town were paved with stones, there was a sharp contrast with the other villages and towns. Moreover, the population of the town was very large. There were hunter level guards everywhere.
Dudian took off his armor and hid it with his backpack in a nearby forest cave. The cave was close to the level 20 monster’s Cave and was guarded by the monster, there should be no problem. He was afraid that the monster would be scared away by him and wouldn’t dare to return to the cave.
“I’ll test the water first.”Dudian looked at the large building in the center of the town. It was the most prosperous square in front of the building. The buildings and blocks around the square were all in the prime area. There were all kinds of shops, behind the square was an extremely spacious luxurious manor. There were several elegant villas inside. When he came to the square he could see the gardeners and servants coming and going through the iron fence outside the manor.
For the first desolate village he had seen, the town was considered a paradise. However the manor was more like a place where the gods lived. It was clean, tidy, elegant and very stylish.
However, this style was loved by Westerners. Dudian was not interested in it. He used his heat sense to scan inside. Soon, he saw many heat source figures. The entire villa was filled with hot spots, it was as if countless infrared rays were shining on it. There were three heat source figures which made Dudian surprised. They were pioneers!
He had met three pioneers in the manor of the first Lord! Moreover, this didn’t exclude the pioneers who were hiding in the dark and instinctively hid heat sources.
Dudian was a bit surprised. In Sylvia, except for the military of the inner wall and the Witcher family, there were no pioneer level experts.
Dudian squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. He was going to wait until night time.
Late at night.
Dudian turned into the manor. Although it was past 11 pm but the manor was still brightly lit. Dudian figured that the lights wouldn’t go out so he was too lazy to wait any longer.
The servants in the manor had fallen asleep. They were sleeping in the basement of the manor. There were groups of red dots in the basement. However there were more than a dozen red dots scattered over the exquisite villa.
Dudian picked a red dot that was always accompanied by a pioneer. It should be the lord of this place. There were pioneers protecting him at all times. Most likely it was because the lords were trying to break away from each other, dudian was always on guard against sneak attacks. However this provided him with an obvious target.
“Phew!”Rosik gently exhaled. He leaned against the back of the chair and finally finished his work. Although he was a lord who enjoyed the scenery but he was very tired every day, all needed him to take care of. Moreover, he also needed to operate the few shops under his command in the capital. These things might sound simple, but if it were an ordinary person, being the manager of a shop would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble, not to mention all the matters in a large territory?
Fortunately, he had many capable assistants under his command who helped him simplify and concretize the matters. Otherwise, it would take several days just to look through these complicated matters.
“Thank you for your hard work, sir,”a young man in dark green armor said with his head lowered.
Rosickle smiled and said, “I say, don’t be so tense all the time. It’s so tiring to wear this armor.”
“It’s my duty. If an enemy comes, I can also stand in front for you, sir,”the young man said respectfully.
Rosickle smiled slightly. Before he could say anything else, the young man suddenly charged forward with a murderous aura.
LOSIC’s pupils constricted, and his heart was filled with shock. His first thought was, ‘have you been bribed by those guys?’?
But soon, he saw the young man charging in front of him with his back facing him. He turned his head and stared forward. When he looked forward, he was immediately covered in cold sweat. He did not know when, but he saw a tall and thin figure standing in the room, although there was light in the room, it was too late. He was a thrifty person and did not light up all the lights in the room, so he could not see the person’s face clearly.
